Hungarian director-writer Pálfi is best known for his debut feature Hukkle (2002), surrealist film Taxidermia (2006) and experimetal piece Final Cut – Ladies and Gentleman (2012), as well as 2014’s Freefall and 2018’s His Master’s Voice.
His latest work, Hen, earned its world premiere at TIFF and now arrives at the Spanish festival to make its European premiere on Wednesday in the fest’s Zabaltegi Tabakalera section.
Produced by Pallas Film and View Master Films, the movie follows a hen who, after escaping from a chicken farm, finds refuge in the courtyard of a crumbling restaurant. There, she discovers love, confronts the pecking order, and fights to protect her eggs from a greedy owner. Her droll yet touching quest for motherhood mirrors the messy compromises and silent struggles of human lives.
